Chapter 68: The Arrow

Duoduo and his party crossed a slope, and suddenly saw a forest of flags not far ahead, and a knight walked through it, and a sharp-eyed knight suddenly pointed to that side and shouted: "Belle, isn't that the Sulu Ingot of Xiyu?" ”

Duoduo looked in the direction of his fingers, and sure enough, he saw a large silk in the banner, a golden spire, and the flagpole was decorated with white horsehair, which was consistent with the shape of the Sulu ingot large silk described by the Mongols under his command, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he was about to give the order to rush up and fight, but after looking at the subordinates behind him, there were less than two hundred horsemen left, and the enemy on the opposite side had four or five hundred horsemen, and they were outnumbered. What's more important is that there are fifteen or sixteen horsemen under the Sulu ingot, and the clothes and armor are all about the same, and there is no way to tell which one is Liu Cheng, and how can he take his life?

Duoduo knew that although he had ordered his subordinates to remove the marks on their armor, as long as Liu Cheng's guards were not stupid, they would not let their hundred or so riders keep wandering around, and they would inevitably come forward to ask after a long time. But if you just kill the past, that is, you don't have the advantage of troops, and you don't have a target, how can you kill the target?

Just as Duoduo was in a hurry, he suddenly saw a brightly dressed knight galloping towards Liu Cheng, bringing a sharp whistle, and the guards around him hurriedly got out of the way. Dodor recognized it as the enemy's herald knight. He had an idea, and his eyes widened widely, and he stared at the herald, and sure enough, the herald knight rushed to the big man, turned over, dismounted, and bowed down to a knight on a yellow-maned horse. Duoduo couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and turned back to his subordinates behind him and said loudly: "The one with the yellow mane is Liu Cheng, who can behead this person, will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and be crowned the king of Duoluo County!" ”

The Jurchen soldiers couldn't help but gasp, and the reward in front of them was not enough, this King of Doro County was the second rank of the Manchu clan, or the title of the Mongolian foreign domain, second only to the first-class Prince Heshuo, even among the heirs of Nurhachi, not everyone could take this title, such as the seventh son Abatai After a hard battle, he is also a king of Doro County. The highest rank of these entourage generals of Duoduo is only a cavalry captain, and the distance from the super-grade King of Jueluo County is simply a cloud and mud. Duoduo saw that everyone was still a little incredulous, and knew that his pie was a bit big, but he could only hold on: "This Liu Cheng is my mortal enemy of Dajin, as long as he kills him, it will be easy to enter the customs and break the Ming." The Great Khan promised a reward before the battle, don't you even believe me? ”

All the people were members with white flags, and hurriedly bowed down and said yes. Duoduo didn't say much, rode his horse and took the lead to rush towards Liu Cheng's side, and the accompanying soldiers with white flags were eager to make meritorious contributions, and they no longer formed a column, but they rushed forward, but squeezed Duoduo behind him, and in a blink of an eye, they had already killed a stone's throw away.

At this time, the soil slope was indeed Liu Cheng's department, because the firearm shot out a large stream of gunpowder smoke and the smoke and dust splashed by the galloping of war horses blocked the view, plus the left wing and the Chinese army had fallen into a scuffle, the battle situation was changing rapidly, Liu Cheng led the guards to command, but he didn't want the enemy's daring army to rush from the gap between the right wing and the Chinese army, and the guards around him at this time were only four or five hundred horses. When several of the guards saw this group of uninvited guests rushing suddenly, they thought that it was their own cavalry that had gone the wrong way, and hurriedly stepped forward, but they did not want to rain arrows and fall off their horses like hedgehogs. The horse speed of the cavalry inlaid with the white flag has come up, most of the guards behind have not had time to shoot arrows, only a few are quick to shoot arrows, in order to facilitate action and avoid revealing their identities, most of the knights with white flags are not wearing iron armor, but wearing tight leather armor, and the arrows have fallen off their horses, but the rest of the people still rushed up, and the horse teams of both sides were immediately entangled together. Enemies and enemies were connected from end to end, swords and spears slashed at each other, and people kept screaming and falling off their horses.

Although the total strength of the white flag side is at a disadvantage, the formation is extremely dense, and it is aroused by the heavy reward of Duoduo Fangcai, many people have already saved the heart of death, and do not avoid the enemy's weapons, but just swing the knife and slash, on the other hand, Liu Cheng's guards were taken by surprise, and they did not think at all how they could be raided in their own army, and more than ten horsemen were killed in a row, and the ranks were torn apart. Duoduo led more than twenty Goshha to break through the ranks, just in time to see that the knight on the yellow-maned horse was only more than twenty steps away from him, which could already be said to be within reach of a skilled Eight Banner warrior.

At this time, there were only more than 20 personal servants around Liu Cheng, Hao Shaoqi pulled Liu Cheng behind him, covered him with his body, and shouted loudly while drawing the bow: "Everyone picks up arms to fight, those who dare to look back are killed, the number of Dongyu is not large, as long as they hold on for a while, none of them can escape." As soon as the words fell, a servant waiting for Liu Cheng may have been frightened, turned around and wanted to run, Hao Shaoqi opened his bow and shot, and the arrows shot by the strong bow at close range pierced through his neck, and the shovel-shaped arrows almost cut off most of his neck, and his head was suddenly tilted to the side, and blood spurted out and splashed all over the ground.

At this juncture, the Jurchen warriors had already rushed up, Hao Shaoqi saw that the enemy was close, so he threw away the strong bow, and stabbed the spear on the side of the pillar to the front of the person in the chest, the man couldn't dodge, subconsciously dropped the weapon, reached out to grab the spear shaft, but didn't want Hao Shaoqi's arm strength to be too strong, the two rushed face to face, where can they catch it, the tip of the spear suddenly entered the chest, stabbed a half, and fell off the horse. Almost at the same moment, another Jurchen warrior rushed over from the other side, raising his sword and slashing. Hao Shaoqi had no time to withdraw his spear or draw his knife at this time, and instinctively reached out and grabbed the opponent's blade. The Jurchen warrior was stunned for a moment, and with a twist of the blade in his hand, he wanted to cut off Hao Shaoqi's fingers, but he kept cutting, and at a glance, he found that the other party's hands were wearing gloves woven with steel wire. said that it was too late, Hao Shaoqi swung his right fist and hit the warrior in the face, only to hear a click, the warrior's nose bone had been shattered by Hao Shaoqi's "iron fist", and his eyes were dark and he suddenly fainted.

Hao Shaoqi turned out these two people, holding the knife in one hand, pulling out the saber at his waist with the other, blocking in front of Liu Cheng, he was wrapped tightly in iron armor, like an iron tower, and the Houjin warrior who rushed over only had a leather armor on his body, and he was cut under the horse by one of his knives after three or two strokes, although Liu Cheng's entourage was killed six or seven for a while, Liu Ben himself was blocked by Hao Shaoqi and protected tightly. At this time, the surrounding guards had come to their senses, and they couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, and pounced from all sides, and in the blink of an eye, they killed most of the Houjin warriors who rushed over, and the rest were only thirty or forty horsemen.

Duoduo saw that the situation was unfavorable, if he got out quickly, let alone take Liu Cheng's head, even his own life would be thrown here. He hurriedly took out an armor-piercing arrow from the quiver, put it on the usual two-stone strong bow, hooked the antlers on the thumb of his right hand, pulled the bow hard, and aimed at Liu Cheng, who was flickering behind Hao Shaoqi, and prayed silently in his heart: "The gods and Buddhas are above, please help me shoot this thief today, and remove the trouble for my big gold!" If this is done, we must build a floating temple in this place, eat monks to offer to the Buddha, and give alms to the sand gate to repay the favor! This is Hao Shaoqi turned to the left, revealing half of Liu Cheng's body, Duoduo hurriedly released the bowstring and shot an arrow.

The arrow hit Liu Cheng's neck, but was blocked by the neck guard, he reached out to cover his arrow, his movements became sluggish, he shook twice, and fell off the horse. Seeing this, Duoduo was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted that he had succeeded, turned his horse's head, and rushed outward.

Hao Shaoqi was shocked when he saw this, he didn't care about Duoduo who was running away, and hurriedly turned around and helped Liu Cheng up from the ground, only to see that his face was sallow, his eyes were closed, his breathing was short, and he had passed out, and the arrow was stuck in the iron neck guard, and blood was oozing from below. Hao Shaoqi didn't dare to reach out to touch it, raised his head and shouted: "Doctor, where is the doctor, the adult has been shot!" Call the doctor! ”

"Shut up!" Chesang scolded sharply: "You idiot, do you want the whole army to know that Lord Jinong has been arrowed?" Hurry up and sort out the pro-soldiers, I've got you covered! His robe was covered with an iron armor, his sleeves rolled up, and the exposed iron arm guards were stained with blood, and he didn't know if it was the enemy's or his own. Hao Shaoqi knew that he had just done something stupid, and he was ashamed in his heart, so he sang a fat song to Chesang, and went to the side to tidy up the guards.

Chesang carefully untied Liu Cheng's helmet, took off the neck guard, examined the wound, and breathed a sigh of relief after a long time: "It's really fortunate that this arrow didn't hurt the blood vessels and trachea, but only slightly injured." He hurriedly called for someone to fetch the wound medicine and water, first sucked the bruise from Liu Cheng's wound with his mouth, and spit the bruise on the ground, the blood was mixed with the soil, and it was black.

Chesan sucked more than ten mouthfuls of blood and cleaned the wound before sprinkling the powder on the wound and wrapping it in a clean cloth. At this time, Liu Chengcai woke up and shouted in his mouth: "Water, water, give me water to drink!" ”

"Give me the hydration bag!" Chesang hurriedly took the water bag from the person next to him, fed Liu Cheng four or five sips of water, then stopped giving him a drink, and said in a low voice: "My lord, you were just shot by Dongyu's cold arrow, and it is not good to drink too much water at once after losing blood after injury, I will drink it again later!" ”

Liu Cheng only came to his senses at this time, he looked around and asked, "What about waving the flag?" How's the battle going? ”

It happened that Hao Shaoqi sorted out the guards a little, and rushed back, just when he heard Liu Cheng ask himself, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Shake the flag damned, let the thief hurt the adult, please punish the adult!" ”

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Liu Cheng's voice was still very weak, but the words were still very clear: "How is the battle situation now?" ”

"The battle hasn't changed much!" Speaking of this, Hao Shaoqi said hatefully: "Tell your lordship, I have already tortured you, and it was Dongyu who attacked the adult with a white flag, and the one who shot and injured the adult was Duoduo, the banner owner with a white flag, who sneaked in from the gap between the right wing and the Chinese army." I have ordered these dog thieves to be skinned and then cut in half. Don't worry, my lord, I will cut this thief in two from his waist with a bamboo saw! ”

As he spoke, there was a terrible scream not far away, it turned out that Liu Cheng's guards were executing the captured Jurchen warriors, they first used hook knives to peel off each other's faces, and then cut them in half, the beheaded people were not dead for a while, rolling in pain on the ground, making a piercing scream.

"Kill and kill, why do you do this!" Liu Cheng showed a trace of anger on his face: "Wave the flag, I raised you to kill thieves, do you want you to be a prison guard?" Put them to death! ”

"Yes, sir!" Hao Shaoqi's face showed a hint of shame, and he hurriedly got up and gave an order, and after a while, Liu Cheng heard several short screams. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "The East Captives have not been broken, so let's put more effort into killing thieves, and if we win this battle, we will have time to retaliate." I was born as a martial artist, so what's the big deal if I take an arrow? ”

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the right flank, as if thousands of people were shouting in unison, but they were too far away to hear what was being said. Liu Cheng's heart suddenly flashed with a hint of foreboding, and he propped up half of his body and shouted: "Come on, go to Du Guoying's side and see what happened?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Hao Shaoqi replied, he was about to give an order, when suddenly a gust of wind blew from the right wing, and the voice suddenly became much clearer. Everyone heard it clearly, and it was clearly "Liu Cheng is the head, and Dajin will be prosperous!" ”

"Bastard!" Hao Shaoqi was furious: "My lord, please wait, I will go and get the head of the dog thief from Duoduo immediately!" Then he turned and left.

"Stop!" Although Liu Cheng's voice is not loud, it contains an invisible force. Hao Shaoqi stopped, a pleading look on his face, wanting to say something. Liu Cheng ignored him and shouted, "Ah Gui, come here!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Ah Gui, who had been silent, walked over: "The last general!" ”

"You help me up and put on that golden armor for me!"

"Yes, sir!" Ah Gui carefully helped Liu Cheng up from the ground, sat on the Hu bed, and then helped him take off the old armor that was seven or eight percent new. Hao Shaoqi immediately understood what Liu Cheng was going to do, his face changed greatly, and before he could speak, Liu Cheng said in a very calm tone: "Shake the flag, aren't you going into battle?" Okay, you can lead my 500 guards now, as well as the 1,000 cavalry guards who remain in this formation, and you cut through the gap between the Chinese army and the right flank in the east, and go and fetch the head of Azig for me!" ”

"Yes, sir! I'm going to fetch the head of Azig for you!" Hao Shaoqi's lips opened and closed a few times, and it was not easy to say this sentence, and tears flowed down. Liu Cheng stood up and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Wave the flag, this is the way I taught you today: as a martial artist, if you can't even forget your own life and death honor and disgrace after going into battle, he is not worthy of being a general of the three armies!" ”
